Robert was an amazing host and his knowledge of the history of Whisky and the stories is second to none! Truly entertaining and if you don't choose this Whisky Tour you are missing out! My two adult boys are now Whisky fans.
Thank you so much for your review and we are so glad you enjoyed your tasting!
We had a very nice whisky tasting. Our host was thoroughly read and entertaining. The room was in the basement and felt just right for the purpose.
Thank you so much for your review and we are so glad you enjoyed your tasting!
Fantastic and impressive tasting. Whiskies were not just the usual ones you see on any shelf and the history element of drink in Scotland was really interesting.
Thank you so much for your review and we are so glad you enjoyed your tasting!
The guide was very good and informative but whisky just not my thing. We are glad we did this but also glad we did the less expensive one.
Husband wanted to do a whisky tasting, I don't really like it but Chris still made it fun and interesting and I even liked a couple of them (husband finished them off though!). I would highly recommend even if you are not a huge whisky fan, plus the bar upstairs is amazing and I got a nice wine afterwards.
Thanks for the kind words, we are glad you enjoyed your experience and look forward to welcoming you back soon!
We had such a fantastic tasting with Chris, he really knows what he is talking about and made us whisky newbies feel at ease. The whiskies were really nice as well and some unique drams like grain which we had never tried before.
Thanks for the kind words, we are glad you enjoyed your experience and look forward to welcoming you back soon!
I signed up for this experience to gain knowledge of whisky. I was curious how this drink was revered by a swell of enthusiasts worldwide. Chris was a very open-minded and generous tutor. He shared his knowledge of whisky from its base material and the interplay of the factors that make the drink cater to different type of drinkers.
Vivien, thanks for the kind words and we are so glad you enjoyed the tasting.
